Say goodbye to spotlight-effect sunlight, and yellowed, leaky skylights. Now, unit skylights can not only provide perfectly diffused light, but also keep long-term costs down through energy efficient Lumira™ aerogel insulation and natural light use. 

 

When used to insulate a translucent skylight cavity, Lumira aerogel:

  • Increases light diffusion - eliminates glare, allows soft, even light dispersion
  • Improves acoustic performance - minimizes unwanted nuisance noise
  • Reduces energy consumption with exceptional thermal performance - delivers an R-value of R8 per inch (European u-value of 0.7 per 25mm thickness)
  • Is UV stable - maintains performance over time
  • Resists moisture - prohibits growth of mold, mildew, and fungus
